The lightning observed in photos of Icelandic volcanoes is primarily caused by volcanic eruptions that generate large amounts of ash and charged particles. As these particles collide and interact, they create static electricity, which can lead to lightning discharges within the ash cloud. This phenomenon is similar to how thunderstorms produce lightning, but in this case, it results from the intense conditions surrounding the eruption. The dramatic visual of lightning adds to the awe-inspiring nature of volcanic eruptions.

How does volcanic activity change the level of gases in the air?

When a volcano erupts, it releases many gasses into the air, but most of it is water vapor. Other gasses include CO2 and hydrogen. Also an interesting side note, if you Google "volcanic lightning" you will see that the lightning produced by volcanoes is a different color than regular lightning. This is because lightning is produced within the different gasses (other than oxygen, which is blue lightning).

Iceland is known as the land of ice and?

Yes, Iceland is generally known as ''the land of ice and fire''. Because this place is cover by ice and here one can see volcanoes too. This year volcano erupted in Iceland which is known as Geldingadalir Fagradalsfjall Volcano. The entire landscape in Geldingadalur underwent a significant facelift due to this volcanic eruption that started on Friday, 19th March. As soon as the word got out, hundreds and thousands of travelers from all over the world started booking tickets and trips to this Nordic nation to feast their eyes with a sight they won’t probably see again in their lifetime. One of my friend had visited this place with a tour (Discover Iceland) guide with proper planning.
